The Red City — where ancient souks meet Atlas Mountain sunsets

The ochre-walled Medina, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, has drawn travelers for over a thousand years with its maze-like souks selling everything from hand-woven Berber carpets to fresh-ground spices. Beyond the ancient walls, modern Marrakech offers world-class dining, luxury riads with plunge pools, and day trips to the snow-capped Atlas Mountains just 60 km away.
